ALFREDO VELASQUEZ

At approximately midnight on June 19, 1996, officers responded to a call regarding an individual lying in the street near the intersection of N. Willamette and Philadelphia Avenue. Officers found the individual, 40-year-old Alfredo Velasquez, a Hispanic male, deceased on the street near the support struts of the St. John’s Bridge. It appeared he had been run over by a vehicle and possibly strangled.

Mr. Velasquez had been employed as a janitor at Mervyn’s at the time of his death. He was not known to be involved in drugs or drink alcohol heavily.
